Documentary : the brainwashing of my dad

What's not a coincidence? What are you implying in #10, @wowbagger?

Spaniel owners generally do not tend to think like Hitler. Do you think otherwise? My pet spaniel could confirm it if he could speak: as I've stated repeatedly, I support Israel and I detest antisemitism. I was disgusted with October 7. I am disgusted with those who hassle Jewish students on college campuses. I detest Hitler.

So what's your point?

Insults aren't genuine debate. They're just insults. The need to insult does not imply the presence of a sound argument. And I would consider likening anybody to Hitler to be a serious insult, if and whenever that occurred.

But let's not think about somebody like Hitler. I will assume you're joking around, and you seem like an intelligent person and an apparent chessplayer, so I'd rather wish you, and all the other fine folks in the thread, a happy holiday season. May you have a good one, sincerely.

I offer to you all : The Noflaps Meta-game:

1 point every time the spaniel is a "proof" of anything. (I wonder how many degrees this spaniel has!)
1 point per tautology, or for empty things like " I detest Hitler" [1]
2 points for him explaining fallacies while using them
2 points for every passive aggressive "have a good day" (3 if there is emphasis like "comma seriously")
5 points per post you can find in the past with at least 5 similar sentences.

[1] (why you need to precise it though, are you aware that we cann't even assume that from you anymore at this point? at least you have some self awareness.)

I'd like to point out that I am aware this is not a form of debate. Sadly, it is what is left when one tried all other ways to deal with the noisy inconvenience that is Noflaps. There is a point when one can not discuss but also not ignore.

and Dog (sic) knows how much you know your subject.

The need to insult does not imply the presence of a sound argument.

Conversly, your lack of ability to take anything else seriously may lead to people writing what works.
In context, the need to challenge your own (polite) agressions and lack of any argument leads people to write in a language you understand. Stop being a d**k, you'll see how people are gonna be much nicer with you. Plus, being a Duck must be dangerous when one is befriended with a dog.

And I would consider likening anybody to Hitler to be a serious insult, if and whenever that occurred.

A chance no one compared you to Hitler. At least, if you consider #10 to be a comparison between you and Hitler, let's apply the same level of scrutiny to your implied insults. But I do agree there is no need to compare you to Hitler, your Fascist tendencies are quite clear without needing to resort to comparison.

Also to all other right wing here :

• Instrumentalising Jews and Israel as a shield to justify taking the position of genocide is ... Antisemitic!
• if your position needs you to call holocaust survivors who disagree with you "self hating jews" you are fucking antisemitic.
• Inconditional support to Israel is antisemitic. Inconditional support to anything is stupid.
• Confounding antisemitic and anti-zionist is antisemitic.
• palestinians are Semitic People. Supporting, or turning a blind eye to their gemocide is... you got it, Antisemitic.

Yes, the genocide in Palestine is the best thing that happened to fascists all around the world since almost 100 years. they can watch Arabs get killed and claim they are on the side of justice.

To all zionist Christians out there : What is the deal with you, you love exactely one palestinian child but are ok with bombing all others?! Zionist christians are the dumbest, meanest, and most inconsistent of all.

Yes. Because palestinians (people living on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea) are literally Jews. And Jews are a Semitic people.

I'm an atheist, but I also dislike it when terrorists bomb cities. That is why I support Israel in defending itself against them.

So we agree that killing palestinians is antisemitic? Great, finally some common ground.

"defending" lol
I also always go to my neighbors and "defend" myself against their stuff not being mine.

Of course.
And IDF reduces the number of antisemits from time to time.

Your life is amazing.

I guess that's Zionist Love for you ;)

Talking about killing people as "reducing numbers"... let me see, where did I see that in human history?
History books are gonna be awkward in a couple of decades.

But at least we'll have the funny game : "who said/did it, Adolf or Benjamin?"

If a value doesn't increase and doesn't remain constant, then it reducing. A fairly simple mathematical conclusion.

Hmm quite a hard one... I'd say "both"

Guys, this film is from TWO-THOUSAND-AND-FIFTEEN. Way ahead before Oct 7. It gives insights to THE START OF IT ALL. To cite the Wikipedia article,

What started as a daughter's personal journey became an exposé of a purportedly far-reaching phenomenon: a right-wing media ecosystem—backed by libertarian billionaires, conservative think tanks, and political operatives. This media network is supposedly designed to manipulate public opinion, deepen polarization, and shift the political landscape to the far right.

To cite a critic, "Through anecdotal and social science research, Senko's film also provides much-needed insight as to why Donald Trump's caustic discourse and demagoguery is catnip for so many people".

whew finished the upvoting and downvoting :P.

I have to admit, I really love it when NoFlaps gets involved. It makes the threads so much more enjoyable, to have an antagonist to fight against. It adds some enjoyable drama

Finally, with Trump's rock bottom approval ratings, I can only hope the fascist in chief Trump will be impeached and removed from office after the midterms.
